Description
Key Features
- Alternating Pressure System
- Automatically shifts air pressure between mattress cells to redistribute pressure points and improve blood circulation.
- Reduces the risk of pressure ulcers by ensuring no single area is under constant pressure.
- Low Air Loss Technology (Optional)
- Some models feature micro-perforations that allow controlled airflow to wick away moisture and regulate skin temperature.
- Helps keep the skin dry, reducing the risk of skin breakdown and infections.
- Adjustable Firmness
- Includes a built-in pump with customizable pressure settings to match the patient’s weight, size, and comfort needs.
- Auto-firmness control adjusts dynamically for optimal support.
- Quiet Air Pump
- Compact, low-noise pump operates continuously without disturbing sleep.
- Features alarms to alert caregivers of low pressure or power failures.
- Waterproof & Hypoallergenic Cover
- Made from medical-grade, waterproof vinyl or polyurethane to resist fluids, bacteria, and allergens.
